Label: Northern Silence Productions – NSP 281 Released: 2023. Collector's edition in an 8-panel digipak with a clear plastic tray. Limited edition - 500 . While Arkas' self-titled debut album took listeners on a mesmerizing journey through serene landscapes, "Where The Light Once Shone" delves into uncharted territory, delving into an abyss of raw tension. The contrast between piercing, fast-paced black metal passages and moments of eerie calm remains at the heart of Arkas' songwriting. However, on "Where The Light Once Shone," the tension is heightened even further: furious blast beats, razor-sharp riffs and death screams intertwine to create an atmosphere steeped in aggression and brute force.
